Offhand, I think that both the compression and the encryption due to
ssh would result in overheads we could do without. Personally, I'd be
interested in raw cvsup vs. raw rsync :) But that's just my opinion,
let that not stop you from finding out for yourself!

BTW, Saverio - when you say you're testing rsync without ssh, I'm
assuming that you'll be talking to the rsync daemon on the remote
server - is that right?

Have fun testing!

Karthik.
